Is this payback for Cindy's Camp Casey in Crawford?<br><br>Better pour yourself another drink, George. Maybe pop some more pills, too. You're gonna need 'em.<br><br>Nothing can ignite our determination to rid our country of you and your band of criminals than seeing a mother, who opposed your illegal war before her son died in it and who wants all the killing stopped, arrested for not having a permit to sit down in front of the house—the White House—that belongs to the people along with all the other government buildings and public spaces in Washington, DC.<br><br>You're nothing but a miserable, drunken weasel who couldn't take five minutes out of your five-week vacation, which we the people paid for, to meet face-to-face with Cindy and answer her questions.<br><br>In Crawford, Texas, Cindy told reporters, "I want to ask the president, why did he kill my son? He said my son died in a noble cause, and I want to ask him what that noble cause is."<br><br>Those are reasonable questions, George. Were you fearful that if you met with Cindy to answer them, she might ask if your cause is so noble why your daughters and your siblings' progeny, along with Cheney's daughters, aren't risking their lives to fight for it?<br><br>And you surely didn't have the guts to stay in Washington this past weekend to witness first-hand what the people think about you and your wars. Hurricane Rita provided you with the perfect excuse to flee to NORTHCOM in Denver to plot the completion of the military takeover of the US, in order to deal with us rabble.<br><br>Do you think we're so stupid that we're buying into your nonsense that the military can better perform as first responders to disasters—natural and those cooked up by you and your murderous buddies, such as 9/11?<br><br>Don't you think we're on to why your venomous sidekick, Cheney, chose this past weekend of all weekends to have elective surgery to repair aneurisms in his knees? He's about as much a man as you are, George. But opting for surgery looked better than taking cover in one of his palatial bunkers. It's too bad they didn't operate on his skull to let all the filth out, instead of his knees.<br><br>Democrats, wipe the smirk off your faces, because you fled Washington like rats, too. We won't forget that, either, so you better go shopping for votes among the Busheviks or take early retirement.<br><br>It's interesting that some writers have suggested that Dubya is hitting the bottle again because his conscience is bothering him about the evil things he is responsible for. To be sure, the list is long: stolen elections in 2000, 2002, 2004; 9/11; the illegal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; destroying the environment, the economy and what is left of the social safety net; giving his rich friends tax cuts at the expense of everyone else; tearing down the remaining wall between church and state; failing to provide the money needed to repair the levees around New Orleans; ignoring the plight of the poor and mainly African American victims of Hurricane Katrina for days while he played and raised money for Republicans, then when he finally responded it was with costly staged photo ops (think about the precious fuel burned up at your expense), as he had the victims of Katrina scattered to the four corners of the country; and, in the wake of Rita, flying hither and yon for more staged photo ops, while telling the people to conserve fuel;<br><br>and on and on and on . . . <br><br>No, a stroke of conscience isn't what is causing George to drown himself in booze. It's self-pity. Like all criminal psychopaths—and this psychopath in the White House happens to be a serial killer and war criminal—he's afraid of getting caught. He knows the day of reckoning is coming and he is trying to relieve his anxiety with alcohol and pills.<br><br>Yes, George, the day of reckoning is coming and you may have hastened it by allowing Cindy to be arrested. No denials, please. You are responsible for her arrest. You could have prevented it by telling the US Park Police that under no circumstances was she to be touched.<br><br>But you didn't do that. Instead, you allowed a spectacle for the whole world to see that gave our hero, Cindy Sheehan, a simple mom from California, near-martyr status. Thank you, George. You gave us quite a gift.<br><br>Yes, indeed, the day of reckoning is coming. So every one of you yellow-bellied creeps in Washington, in both wings of the Money Party, better start shaking in your overpriced shoes, because we are aiming to throw out the rest of the trash along with George, Dick, Karl, Condi, Rummy, et al.<br> <p></p><i></i>
